Ya Pascal, i am getting old and somewhat senile and just have to remember to stop at that top step. I can get my big butt under there but some times its a chore to get back out.

Does that mean that you can't dress as Santa and go through the chimney??

One concern. My jack doesn't have any rubber piece on the cup. Is metal to metal contact there a no-no?
I duck taped a rubber sanding disk from an old drill to the top of my jack. It works good.

Those chimneys are rough Pascal. Got stuck in one on Christmas Eve. Ever try to dial 911 when you are halfway down a chimney with one arm at your side and the other over your head hanging on to a big round sack sull of musang parts? Whew. I gotta find a new job.
